Perform a HEAD method REST call against an endpoint. This will return no body if the server honors the request, but the body is returned in case the server does return one.
If no body is returned, an empty string will be present in FDR_RESPONSE_STRING
.
All response headers are returned as plugin outputs, with the output name being the header name. See Capturing Response Headers in the REST Plugin for details on how to capture headers. (@Since 7.0.0.1)
